Jon Stewart involvement

[Str8Shooter]

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN SUMMERSLAM!! TURN BACK NOW!







So Jon Stewart got involved in the Cena/Rollins match and helped Rollins win with a steel chair.

Is this a good thing or bad thing? I'm on the fence. On one hand it was surprising, but on the other, a non wrestler entertainer just got involved in a serious main event program and affected the end of a great match.

I assume Stewart will be returning at some point to get his comeuppance though. At least I hope so.

No logical sense to it. WWE want to keep the belt on Rollins but for some reason felt the need to protect Cena, hencethe screwy finish. Which begs the question, why book the match in the first place?

I wouldn't say no logical sense. Stewart, during his bit with Heyman, went into detail about his passion for The Streak and how those sorts of things were special to the fans. I'm sure he feels the same about Flair's record. Hence why, despite his "rivalry" with Rollins, he cost Cena the match. He even looked back and forth between the two. Even Rollins looked shocked that Stewart did what he did.

If Jon doesn't come out and say that, then yeah. No fucking sense.

I mean, I would have preferred Rollins beat Cena clean or dirty than an interference. Cena didn't win though. That's all that matters.

It was stupid booking is what it boils down to....I would have rather seen a DQ than see the United States Championship be nothing again....Seth isn't going to defend both and sadly the US championship will diminish and will lose any prestige it had during Cena's reign. Hate or like the guy Cena is still well liked as long as he isn't in the main event.

I actually enjoyed the finish of this match. It was an exciting swerve that nobody saw coming and the match itself was spectacular. This is how the WWE should execute celebrity appearances.

I'm fearful that there's gonna be a cash in tonight, Sheamus will take the Main Title and leave Rollins with the US Title. Why the hell else have a guy have both belts?

No. Not at all. They shouldn't execute celebrity appearances like this at all.

You don't inject them into the WWE World Title match. Ever. If they had to have a run in to protect Cena then atleast use a wrestler or a manager or a legend or a returning star. At least keep it in the realms of wrestling so there's progression and there's care taken with the heritage and the history. The importance of the match and the title and the two guys in it. Atleast respect it that much.

Rollins won the title with the help of a celebrity. Not HHH - the COO, multiple time champion, the game etc. Not RIc Flair - legend, protecting his record but Jon Stewart. Someone half the world don't even know. They already had their celebrity appearance with The Green Arrow. Why should anyone watching at 6am in India care about Jon Stewart. It means nothing. Atleast book something that means something.

Especially when this isn't the only shit finish on the show. It makes it look 100 times worse.

Celebrities should never get involved in the outcome of title matches, period. It makes the belt and the main event scene look like a joke.

It's one thing if it's a midcard match that's all about spectacle. But the WWE Championship? No.

[AkydefGoldberg]

Sounds like this is WWE's David Arquette scenario? But possibly on a lesser scale but bizarre.

Cena faced Laureniatis so maybe they'll try and persuade Stewart to face off Cena lol. But don't know the crowd reaction of his interference, imagine it was cheered..

And Stone Cold won his first WWE Championship by having a huge celebrity involved in the outcome of the match as well. It ended up kick starting a boom period in wrestling and one of the biggest moments that kicked off that Attitude Era.

Jon Stewart isn't as silly and god awful like the many other celebrities the WWE has brought in. Like it or not, more people are talking about the WWE and wrestling now. Wrestling is becoming mainstream again with all the attention it's been getting from ESPN, The Washington Post, Twitter, etc. I really didn't mind Jon Stewart interfering at all, it was a cool swerve moment. Plus we should watch RAW and see the reasoning for Jon's actions before jumping to conclusions IMO.

Cena/Rollins wasn't going to end in a clean finish, we all knew that coming into the PPV. IMO, it was the best ending they could've came up with outside of having Rollins go over clean.

[Str8Shooter]

The fact that the Taker/Brock ending has been getting mostly hate online while this gets off easy is baffling to me. At least that had some effort and some thought put into it. This seems just like WWE trying to get some mainstream press and book themselves out of a jam at the same time.

I mean Stewart gave no indication that he was going to get involved, or turn heel. He's had no interaction with Cena, and all his interactions with Rollins have been him ripping Rollins. Plus the actual turn was ridiculous. Stewart was really hamming it up in there and overselling everything, why would he even tease hitting Cena to begin with?

It feels like because Jon Stewart is "cool", this is fine. If it was a celebrity that people didn't like it would be getting ripped to shreds.
